Three life lessons from a gallant police officer

As I dressed up to go out this morning, I am once again reminded of how personal and private this race called life is.I get into my car, drove out, and joined the road where other cars are already travelling on.

Lesson number 1:

We don't all have the same entry point into life.As I keep driving, I pass some other cars, while other cars would pass me.

Lesson number 2:

We won't travel through life at the same speed because each car is built differently.

As I moved on, I catch myself trying to pursue another car in front of me, only to discover that, just as I am about to pass it, it turns off the road into another road.

Lesson number 3:

We don't all have the same exit point.We are all on this journey called life. We will enter at different points and exit at different points, but one thing is clear: we will all exit this road at one point in time or the other. It may be 10km run God has given you, or it could be 100000kms; what is important is that you run your race well.

Your car has sides view mirror and a rear-view mirror. You use both to see the sides and the back of your car respectively. Other cars will be behind you, while others may be beside you for a while.

But you know how dangerous it is to spend time looking at these mirrors; they will distract you. That is why your car has got a large windshield\screen in front of you. It gives you the biggest view of the potential in front of you and the resources you are yet to attain.

Don't spend a lot of precious time looking at your back to see those who are pursuing you, or looking at your side to see those who are trying to overtake you. Keep your eyes in front of you and stay true to your race.

When it is time to exit the road, you would know that you have run your race well and ended well.

I humbly pray God to bless and help you as you run this race called life. Stay focused and remain yourself.
